Off-Grid

A 12.37MW solar carport and energy storage system, built by US developer DSD Renewables and commercial solar EPC company Solar Optimum, has broken ground at California theme park Six Flags Magic Mountain.

Colorado-based mini-grid specialist Husk Power has secured more than US$100 million in equity and debt funding aimed to grow its community solar mini-grids in rural sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

The levelised cost of energy for solar PV will drop to US$21/MWh by 2050, according to DNV's Energy Transition Outlook 2030.

Canadian-headquartered solar-plus-storage developer Watt Renewable Corporation has secured a US$13 million investment to deploy hybrid corporate & industrial (C&I) solar solutions across Nigeria.

The Bank of Montreal (BMO) has donated US$3 million to California-headquartered non-profit GRID Alternatives to support the provision of low-to-no cost solar PV, storage and clean mobility programmes to “underserved families” in the Western US.

Australia’s rooftop and grid-scale solar contributed to the majority of the total electricity supply in the national electricity market on 17 September, according to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).

As the world's population distribution changes, so too does its energy needs. One solution could be the emerging field of urban agrivoltaics.

Rooftop solar is gaining traction in Australia but not every renter can enjoy the advantages brought by it due to several reasons.

The Q3 2023 edition of our downstream solar PV journal, PV Tech Power, is now available to download, leading with a focus on solar in the US, one year on from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

In this article, Richard Doyle, MD of JUWI Renewable Energies South Africa, discusses the benefits, lessons and future of solar PV with battery energy storage for mining.
